Tammy Kanat creates textile art that’s larger than life. Her colorful, highly-textural wall hangings feature organic circular and oval shapes that are a celebration of materials. “For me,” she says, “weaving projects a mood. I follow my instinct to create designs that feel balanced. I am very visual, always taking note of my surroundings and believe this is reflected in my work.” Their large size and incredible details are sure to bring you joy whenever you look at them. I know they do for me. I’ve been coveting the above photo for well over a week.
Tammy’s career in weaving represents a shift in creative fields. For 12 years she was a jewelry designer, but in 2011 she enrolled in the Australian Tapestry Workshop to learn tapestry weaving. Ever since then, she’s been using her skills to enthrall others; it’s at the heart of her work. “She believes,” she writes on her website, “weaving is an ever-evolving and timeless art form and an enchanting way to share the impact of her surroundings.”
Using an intuitive creative process, Tammy Kanat creates larger-than-life textile art.
